tools.jar not found

           Summary: tools.jar not found
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows 9x
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


When running ant, it gives this error message:

Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:\JAVA\J2SDK1.4.1_01\JRE\lib
\tools.jar

Then the javac task fails because doesn't find a compiler.

I think the reason for this error is in class
org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Locator.java, at line 184 where it says:
---
if (javaHome.endsWith("jre")) {
   javaHome = javaHome.substring(0, javaHome.length() - 4);
}
---
that should be replace whit something like:
---
if (javaHome.toLowerCase().endsWith("jre") ) {....
---
because the value of javaHome, as returned by System.getProperty("java.home"), 
is "C:\JAVA\J2SDK1.4.1_01\JRE". Uppercase!
